On Repeat

Thanks for joining me today for this weeks Papertrey Ink Design Team Tip!

Today, I'm putting my sentiments on repeat.  By using them over and over again, creating a neat backdrop for my focal images.  It's a simple technique using only one stamp that can take your project up a notch in an unexpected way.  It works great with pretty much any sentiments already included in your stamp collection!  I found a bit of inspiration via this old card (the one at the bottom of the post). 

Here's how it's done... You stamp once in a bold color (I've used black here) next to your focal image, creating a strong focal point.  Then stamp repeatedly in a much lighter, less distracting color (like soft stone). Easy peasy!

You can stamp your focal point first, like I did here.

Or you can stamp your sentiments first, like on this card.  

And then arrange your arrangement around your sentiment grouping. 

It's a pretty easy going, carefree look that's really hard to mess up.  

Stamp them up, down, straight, angled or all wonky.  It's up to you!

So what do you think?!  You gonna give this on a try?   I sure do hope so!  Well, that's it from me today.  

Thanks for stopping by.
